Researchers developed a machine-learning technique that uses an image to estimate the stresses and strains acting on a material. The advance could accelerate engineers' design process by eliminating ...

The National Ready Mixed Concrete Association has introduced the Recycled Content and Regional Material Calculator for the Concrete Industry (LEED calculator), an Excel-based program which calculates ...

Calculations also predicted this material would be stable and perform well as an LED phosphor. For example, it was predicted to absorb light in the near-UV and blue region and have high ...

Isaac Newton may have met his match. For centuries, engineers have relied on physical laws -- developed by Newton and others -- to understand the stresses and strains on the materials they work with.
